I downloaded my sims 2 perfectly, and im on a brand new laptop, so there is enough space for my game to work OK. but whenever i try and play the game, it is fine for 2minutes, and then it just freezes without warning. i have tried to download directx, but it just hasnt worked.
help please!

Most games when downloaded would download with a virus and most viruses are known to freeze a game or program up.
But what mite work is to get yourself a anti virus and i would recomment AVAST 4.8, if that doesnt work then it is recommended that you buy the game and not download it

um-mm...some disc are really thin and have trouble reading the disc because it is spinning far to fast. This usually happens far to fast. You could also get a cleaning disc, that they usually have for DVD player, I don't know if they have one for the computer or not, but it would be great to look into. Also, one new thing that people aren't looking, because this happened to my DVD player, you see, my DVD player kept saying wrong disc, and it was because a battery had a whole in it, and the corrosion of the battery melted and destroyed the Lazar, as well as flowing into the jack. so I had to get rid of it before fixing it. Now, it probably can't copy the file, because your computer needs its hard drive updated, as well as the AGA Graphic memory, I had trouble with a game one because it didn't have enough graphic color for 3d flash games. So check for that. Take care and good luck.

This is a common problem (bug) with this game. Basically you have to delete something, anything, off your harddrive. If you have nothing on then download a demo or something then delete it. This should fool yr ps3 into releasing the space you need to play r&c.

Its possible that the game is on a dvd and your computer only has a CD Rom drive. It should say on the front of the drive on your computer what it is.Chipset is the video card inside the pc (Either ATI or Nvidia)

Your computer does not have either enough hard drive or disk space left to run the game on, or you may have downloaded some custom content that may effect the internal game play. i would delete the game off your computer with saved game data and all and reinstall it and try it from there, if that does not work then it might just be time for an upgrade on your system. Hope that helps!

If this is a PS2 game that you are playing on the PS3 you need to set up a internal seperate memory card for that game and that will fix your problem how to set up a internal memory card goto the icon that says game scroll up till you see memory card utility click it then click new internal memory card.

We have identified a data loading issue with PS3 and Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction, which may affect users who boot the game up for the first time.

During the pre-game set-up procedure, game data is automatically saved to the PS3 HDD. It has been found that, on occasion, this data fails to copy to the HDD, with an on-scree message claiming that there is insufficient space to do so - despite the fact that there is in fact enough free space on the drive.

ACTION: For every 4GB of HDD space, there is a 540MB range that will cause the game to display a message indicating that there is insufficient space to create game data. This message will therefore occur when the following amount of free space is on the HDD:

If the PS3 HDD is within any of these ranges when booting without game data created, this message will appear. After game data is created, this will never appear, so if a user doesnt encounter it at first, they never will. Any users who do receive this message will need to either delete data from or save data to the HDD, so that the amount of free space no longer lies within the range detailed above
